Question

【題目】 China Eastern Airline and other domestic airlines have begun to allow mobile phone use on their flights(航班) or announced plans to cancel the ban（禁令）.

On Thursday, China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines began to allow passengers to use portable electronic devices (PED), such as smartphones and tablets, but phones still have to be changed to airplane mode（飛行模式）. China Southern Airlines and Xiamen Airlines announced Thursday they would allow mobile phone use on all their flights soon.

The permission comes after the Civil Aviation Administration of China（中國民用航空局） asked that the ban be canceled earlier this week. According to the guideline before, staffs in the planes needed to ask passengers to turn off any devices that could interrupt the flight, even airplane mode was not permitted.

Inflight wifi is available on 74 of China Eastern Airlines' aircrafts, covering all international routes and 166 domestic routes. Hainan Airlines has enabled inflight wifi on 17 of its airplanes.

"Before, I just slept aboard the airplane, sometimes read magazines in front of me and then had nothing to do. But now, I can use my social network accounts like Weibo or Wechat," said a passenger named Zuo, who took a flight with wifi from Shanghai Thursday.

Before 2018, mobile phone use on aircraft was banned over safety concerns. The ban is a common international practice, but with technological development and a higher demand from passengers, the ban has been canceled by some airlines.

Other Chinese airlines are also considering allowing mobile phone use. A number of airlines from other countries already provide inflight wifi service, an important factor for passengers choosing flights of different airlines.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】

這篇短文主要講述了隨著技術(shù)的發(fā)展和旅客的更高要求，一些航空公司已經(jīng)取消了禁令，開始允許在乘坐飛機(jī)時(shí)使用移動(dòng)手機(jī)。其他中國航空公司也在考慮允許使用手機(jī)。

【1】

細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines began to allow passengers to use portable electronic devices (PED), such as smartphones and tablets, but phones still have to be changed to airplane mode（飛行模式）.” 東航和海南航空開始允許乘客使用智能手機(jī)和平板電腦等便攜式電子設(shè)備，但手機(jī)仍需改為飛行模式。中國南方航空公司和廈門航空公司周四宣布，他們將很快允許所有航班使用手機(jī)。故選C。

【2】

細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文中“According to the guideline before, staffs in the planes needed to ask passengers to turn off any devices that could interrupt the flight, even airplane mode was not permitted.”根據(jù)之前的指引，飛機(jī)上的工作人員需要要求乘客關(guān)閉任何可能中斷飛行的設(shè)備，甚至不允許使用飛機(jī)模式。故選A。

【3】

詞句猜測。根據(jù)“covering all international routes” 覆蓋所有國際航線�？芍�下文中“domestic”國內(nèi)航線。這里是說“東航74架飛機(jī)提供機(jī)上wifi，覆蓋所有國際航線和166條國內(nèi)航線。”故選B。

【4】

推理判斷。根據(jù)文中“But now, I can use my social network accounts like Weibo or Wechat," said a passenger named Zuo, who took a flight with wifi from Shanghai Thursday.” 但現(xiàn)在，我可以使用我的社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)賬號(hào)，比如微博或微信�？芍�選項(xiàng)A“Airlines in China began to allow passengers to use portable electronic devices.”說法錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)“Before, I just slept aboard the airplane, sometimes read magazines in front of me and then had nothing to do.”以前，我只是睡在飛機(jī)上，有時(shí)在前面看雜志，然后就無所事事。選項(xiàng)B“Passengers used to have nothing to do but sleep during the flight.”是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)文中“Before 2018, mobile phone use on aircraft was banned over safety concerns.” 2018年之前，出于安全考慮，禁止在飛機(jī)上使用手機(jī)�？芍�選項(xiàng)C是正確的。故選C。

【5】

主旨大意。根據(jù)文中“On Thursday, China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines began to allow passengers to use portable electronic devices (PED) ”周四，東航和海南航空開始允許乘客使用智能手機(jī)和平板電腦等便攜式電子設(shè)備，及“Before 2018, mobile phone use on aircraft was banned over safety concerns. The ban is a common international practice, but with technological development and a higher demand from passengers, the ban has been canceled by some airlines.” 2018年之前，出于安全考慮，禁止在飛機(jī)上使用手機(jī)。禁令是國際通行的做法，但隨著技術(shù)的發(fā)展和旅客的更高要求，一些航空公司已經(jīng)取消了禁令�？芍�，這篇短文主要是講述了中國的航空公司開始允許乘客使用便攜式電子設(shè)備。故選A。
